That the Mayors' Council would violate the open government law is inexcusable, derides the trust placed in them by their constituents and defies every tenet of decency held sacred by a trusting people. Those who even suggested that such a meeting take place should be held in contempt of the law and the trust of the people.

Two Marine officers, wearing uniforms, were seen, on TV, exiting a meeting conducted in disregard and contempt of local law. That their superiors would condone such actions belies the code of honor and ethical behavior attached to those uniforms and their state in life.
